Rosemary and Garlic Roasted Nuts

These roasted nuts are the perfect snack or appetizer. They're easy to make, and the combination of rosemary and garlic is both flavorful and addictive. The nuts are roasted until they're golden brown and fragrant, and then they're tossed in a mixture of olive oil, rosemary, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. The result is a snack that's both crunchy and flavorful.

I first came up with this recipe when I was looking for a way to use up some leftover nuts. I had a bunch of different nuts on hand, and I wasn't sure what to do with them. I decided to roast them in the oven with some olive oil, rosemary, and garlic powder. The results were so delicious that I've been making them ever since.
